There are a few different ways to access Disk Management. I`ll list three different methods so choose whichever is more convenient.

Method 1 - Start > Control Panel > Performance and Maintenance > Administrative Tools. Double click Computer Management and then click Disk Management in the left hand column. Method 2 - By default, Administrative Tools is not shown on the Start Menu but if you have modified the Start Menu (by right clicking the Start button and selecting Properties > Customize) so it is shown then just select Start > Administrative Tools > Computer Management and then click Disk Management in the left hand column. Method 3 - Click Start > Run and type diskmgmt.msc in the Open: line and click OK. The Disk Management snap-in will open.

You have to check if your computer can actually detect your expansion drive before you can do drag and drop. One thing of checking is by using a computer and see if the drive for your external drive shows up. If it did then check the content. See if you can copy paste. If you can do it then it could probably be just a cable issue, might be be loose or broken.

But if your system could detect the drive but you could not write on it then it means you might need to reformat your drive for it to be of use again.

If your system could not detect it then it will be a hardware failure and you might need to have someone service or replace it.

First, make sure you are using a good cable that has no damaged like cuts and bends or anything that may cause your drive to not detected by your tv. If the cable works and your hard drive get detected but still cannot play movies then maybe your tv doesn`t support the formats of the movies you have. You need to convert it first for you to play it on your tv. I suggest you use Any Video Converter.
